Curious if any of you are building MS Office-like ribbonbar user
interfaces using Tkinter? If so, I would love to see a screenshot to see
what is possible.
We're starting to get more requests for this type of modern user
interface. Personally, I hate the new MS Office ribbonbars (after more
than 2 years of trying to like this interface), but I have to admit they
do look visually more appealing (or at least more modern) than
traditional menu/toolbars interfaces.
What are your thoughts regarding the ribbonbar widget - useful,
annoying, important, impossible to implement in Tkinter, etc?

Tkribbon might be of interest:

That link includes the announcement and a download link.
And a few screenshots:

This is a Tcl/Tk package, so you'll have to write some wrapper code to
access it from Tkinter.
The library is listed as alpha-level code, but its author, Georgios
Petasis, is one of the foremost Tcl/Tk deveopers out there--he's also
written the TDND library (supports native drag-and-drop) and TkGecko,
which wraps a Firefox window inside Tk--so it's safe to say the library
is of high quality.
